Looking for freebies and a little fun? I could definitely use the help!
Below is the 411 on the team, how you’ll be helping and what to expect.WHAT IS A STREET TEAM?
A street team is a group of readers interested in helping spread the news about my books. You do this by sharing news, teasers and ‘buy links’ on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram or whatever social media channel you use on a regular basis.FACEBOOK REQUIREMENT:
My team communicates through a closed Facebook group, so you’ll need to have a Facebook account. We have a lot of fun in there – I often post excerpts, giveaways and insights into what inspires me, what I’m working on and other fun stuff.
In addition to Facebook, there are other social media accounts that would helpful to have: Twitter, Google+, Instagram, Pinterest, Goodreads, Tumblr, etc.

As a member of my street team, please join my newsletter and please beg, plead and beat others to do the same! I don’t send it out often, maybe a few times a year. That being said, I’m happy to have input on what you’d like to see in a newsletter, too! You can join my newsletter here.

Read, Review, Repeat!
The most important way members of my team can help is by reading and reviewing my books. As a member of the street team, you will receive Advanced Reader Copies (ARCs) before the book is released. I ask that you read it then and leave a review as soon as possible. If on preorder, you may leave it right away. If not, the first day of release is a wonderful time to post. All ARCs are given with the understanding that you have received it in exchange for an honest review and we ask that you state that clearly in your review. Emphasis is on the word ‘honest’, of course, but also try and be specific if there are things you particularly liked or didn’t like, as it helps future readers decide whether or not this is the book for them.What Happens in the Street Team, Stays in the Street Team!
Please remember that anything shared within the group is confidential.
As a member of the team, you’ll not only receive an electronic edition of the books before they’re available to the public but also gain special access to some fun and free stuff. I’ll be doing giveaways (of other things besides my books, of course!) for the team as well as blogs and others who are willing to help me get the word out about my books.
